Property Value

True to listen to IMotionStudy ForceTimeStepChangeNotify and ForceOutputTimeStampChangeNotify events, false to not

Example

Remarks

When a force is set to external, IMotionStudy ForceTimeStepChangeNotify and ForceOutputTimeStampChangeNotify events are called with the motor name, time, and a pointer for the return value. These events are called at every major time step from ADAMS. You can implement any force law after catching these events. The return value for each event is a double that specifies the new force or torque magnitude.
